Figure 4

DNMT3A/3B and G9a do not require each other for anchoring to nucleosomes in somatic cells. Mononucleosomal digests prepared by extensive MNase digestion of nuclei from (A) HCT116 cells infected with either control NS shRNA or shG9a5 shRNA as shown in Figure 3 and (B) hypomethylated DKO1 cells, were resolved by ultracentrifugation on a sucrose density gradient (5% to 25%) containing 300 mM NaCl. Gradients were fractionated and analyzed as described previously. Western blot was highly overexposed for detecting residual G9a protein in the shG9a5 shRNA infected HCT116 cells. * Overexposed.
